There are many approaches one can take for Halloween. Do you take the Mean Girls route, dressing up as a sultry version of, well, anything? Perhaps something a little more traditionally scary? Or how about a viral pop culture reference? Costume options truly run the gamut, but when it comes to what—or who—to wear, trust Hollywood to provide all the inspiration you need for the spooky season.

With many A-list soirees to hop between, Halloween has become a bit of a spectacle amongst the celebrity set. Though no one quite goes to the lengths of Heidi Klum and her infamous, high-lift theatrics (the haunting image of her as a worm is forever etched in our brains), we’ve come to look forward to this time of year for all the gorey glamour and pageantry.

So, whether you’re looking to titillate or terrify, you can bet they’re an easy source of ideas to inspire your own looks. Ahead, some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of recent years.
